I have been playing this game since it went llive. I don't comment much on the forums, because honestly, there isn't much to say. I have read a lot of the posts and realized that there is no way that SOE has paid attention to their customers. I am not stupid, and I know that the way to make money in video games is to keep them new. What SOE has done here is created a FPS online. This is not what most of us signed up for. Granted, I am such a SW fanatic that I will continue to play this game, if for anything to hope that it comes full circle in the future. Lets face it, with the amount of us who have been here since the beginning, you would think that it would be impossible to get us to cancel our accounts. (God knows my wife would love that :smileyhappy
. I will continue to play in the hopes that we are all crying "wolf" and that the devs and SOE actually pay attention to our worries. I doubt that will happen for the simple fact that the evolution of the game has not followed what we (the players) have put in. In terms of the bounty hunter, and the game in general for that matter,what attracted me to the game was the ability to live in the SW universe without having to "kill all the bad guys" and "save the princess" and FPS mundane content like that. I liked the fact that as a Ranger I could go out hunting in the woods, throw a camp up, go AFK for the night, and have the camp there in the morning - as if I was still in the game. Since those happy times, I have watched players abuse the AFK system - thereby ruining the reason for it - cry about Jedi vs BH, watch some professions go the way of the dodo, and all with a grudging hope that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. The content has gone from interesting, fun, DIFFICULT missions to group-grininding/spinning, and afk camping (not like what I mentioned above).

To the Devs and Sony: Pay attention to our fears...abate them when you can (i.e. get on the forums and let us know what is happening, solicit our input, and then put it in practice)
To the players: To use a sailing addage: don't change your course because you dislike the color of the sky. Give whatever is coming a shot.
(PS - keep player bounties - place a tab in the options menu of the characters upon creation that allows for player bounties or not, and then keep it permanent.)

So we willnowbe stuck to boring npc hunts? npc who stand and shoot without healing themselves, use no tactics and sucking all interest out of it? Sounds like loads of fun to me. Im guessing like 90% of the people given the Free Jedi pass will take it, making the already to large amount or jedi multiply out of control. Is there going to be at least a storyline change? Like killing off darth vader and luke starting his jedi academy. That would make a little more sence then how it is now. Hey maybe even go into the story of boba fett reviving the mandalorians, new factions and stuff.Just a few ideas but bottom line is i like the way the game is now. Ill give it a shot but it would of been nice to of done this before i spent 30 bucks on TOW exp. we will see i guess
